Is there a significant difference or simply one or two wrong
connections. One possibility is someone flippped the cable over during assembly. This is our suspicion.
Ribbon cables have a marker, such as a stripe, along one edge. That marker is supposed to go to pin 1 on the connector.
Right. Also the connector may have a dot marking pin 1, and a notch to impede reversing the connector (with a corresponding recess in the female plug). Sometimes the stripe was not aligned to the dot, the cable was reversed when manufactured; the solution was to cut or break the notch in the connector and plug it reversed. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
